After three incredible days in Mexico City, we’re ready for another round. In Spring 2016, the 6th Annual Tales of the Cocktail® on Tour returns to one of the world’s most colorful cities for three days of seminars, tours and nightly networking events. Once again, Mexico City will be our home away from home as we welcome cocktail professionals from around the region and across the world to share ideas and insights into the craft. We’ll also get a taste of Mexico City’s rising cocktail scene as we explore legendary and up-and-coming bars. Join us for what will be a fun, festive and enlightening few days in Mexico City.
